The Mist, a MUST see for Stephen King fans
2 of 2 found this helpful I did have to watch it twice to absorb the ending as it is so different from the short story ending..I wasn't too sure about the casting of Marcia Gay Harden. I have always enjoyed her as an actress but having read the story so many times I wasn't sure she was right for Mrs. Carmody, but her performance absolutely blew me away, she did an outstanding job. I thought the special effects were excellent. Some of the 'critter' scenes were pumped up and drawn out compared to the short story but once again, for me, it didn't hurt the movie. There are some things (I don't want to put spoilers in here) in the scene where he looks for his wife that I liked better in the book version, but overall, I really loved this movie adaption. A good old fasioned monster story, with what I thought were powerful performances all around, even the little boy was excellent, not irritating as many can be when a role demands a lot of stress and tears, etc. He pulled it off very well. Of course, the familiar face of Jeffery DeMunn (Green Mile and Storm of the Century come to mind) is always a pleasure to see. I especially enjoy him in Stephen King's works. This one is a definite must have for me, one that I will watch again and again. I thought it interesting that they added a black and white version and I am really looking forward to watching that one. (Thanks lipfird71). Just as he did with King's "The Green Mile", Frank Darabont once again stayed true to the book version of "The Mist" regardless of the changes in story line. As for those folks who are having trouble with the ending, just ask yourself 'If I was in this position, what would I do'. That is what my husband asked me, then I had finally got my head wrapped around it.
If you are a Stephen King fan or Frank Darabont fan, or just a fan of those great old monster movies, I do believe you will love this movie.

Quality Colored Pencils
Very quick review...I LOVE Prismacolor Pencils, both the Premier and these Verithins. But you must be very careful with the wax based pencils as the points wear down quickly, but there are little tricks that you can find online, some videos, to eliminate some of that issue. Please check them out for the info on that. The other thing is sharpening them. You need a very sharp good quality sharpener as the softer leads that are made to blend so beautifully, also break often if you don't have a good sharpener. I'm using the one made specifically for Prismacolor pencils and it is totally awesome, after trying the cheap sharpeners I bought at the craft/art store. I literally sharpened away more than half of my first black pencil in a brand new but cheap sharpener. I received my sharpener made especially for these pencils yesterday and easily sharpened three of these new black Verithins with no breaking, I am delighted with all my Prismacolor products.
